What Are Negative ions?
Derived from the Greek word meaning up, negative ions are atoms with more electrons than protons. They are thought to have unique properties and are believed to support energy levels and positive mood.

Negative ions are abundant in natural environments such as the oceans, rivers, waterfalls, mountains, forests and after meteorological events such as lightning storms.

Conversely cations, atoms with more protons than electrons, are prevalent in man made environments such as homes, shopping malls and workplaces where computers, smart phones, wi-fi networks, artificial lighting and microwaves are commonplace. Cations can contribute to feelings of lethargy, tiredness and irritability.

How do Negative ions work in Drion Sanitary Products?
In every Drion sanitary pad and liner there is a signature green tourmaline strip that contains over 6100 negative ions per cubic centimetre. When this strip comes into contact with menstrual blood, it releases negative ions that may support wellbeing.

Why Doesn't Drion Supply Tampons?
Tampons block the natural downward and outward flow of menstrual blood, causing the blood to back-up and stagnate, which often contribute to discomfort.

On insertion tampons can cause micro tears in the vaginal canal, making it vulnerable to bacterial infection. On removal, fibres often separate and are left behind in the vagina. Tampons also unavoidably dry out the lubricating and self-cleaning fluids that the vagina naturally produces. Note: Non-organic tampons can leak toxic chemicals into the vagina which may also cause irritations.

The vagina is without doubt the most absorbent and sensitive part of a women's body, so for good menstrual health Drion doesn't stock or recommend using tampons - even organic ones!

What is the impact of Drion Sanitary Products on the environment?
Hygienically wrapped and sealed in organic paper, Drion organic sanitary products pose no toxic threat to women or the environment, and unlike most competitors’ products, they are recyclable and compostable under the correct conditions.

Drion sanitary products are free from the myriad of chemicals and potential allergens used by most other brands. These nasties include artificial dyes, chlorine, dioxins, GMO’s, rayon, viscose, carbon disulphide, sulphuric acid, phthalates, pesticides and herbicides, odour neutralizers and synthetic adhesives.

What are some the other benefits of Drion sanitary products compared to competitors’ products?
1. Absorbency
Drion sanitary products can quickly absorb up to 150mls of menstrual blood, and still feel dry to touch and comfortable to wear. In comparison, most competitors’ products only absorb between 10-50mls of menstrual blood and poorly retain the fluid, so they become uncomfortable and need replacing sooner.

The ultra-absorbency of Drion sanitary products makes them ideal for heavier flows, post birth care and for light bladder leakage.

2. Superior Packaging
Drion sanitary products are supplied in resealable packs, whereas most competitors’ products cannot be resealed once opened, and they use plastic.
